Yeah, all the big names were present. Theyed call the selection the "benchmarks."

I got the sense that they are experimenting with social media but still don't really get it…(hence emailing me, asking me to retweet something…)

If this marketing body is aligned with the annual Californian trade tasting at the Royal Horticultural Halls, then such lack of organisation becomes familiar. To get onto the list for that is provocatively frustrating.

What did they force-feed you?
